---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Paul, I wouldn't feel good about charging the school for this time, I would just use the time to my advantage. I'd go in at 9:00, tune the 1st two before noon, then go and do something novel: have lunch somewhere besides my car. Or take your walking shoes and get some exercise. Or both. Or make all those phone calls you're behind on.... Dave Stahl In a message dated 2/24/2006 2:26:06 P.M.

I've been hired to tune 3 pianos at a school which is about 20 miles away. Two of the pianos are in the same room; the third is in a different room. Because of class schedules, the first two must be tuned between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon (no problem there), but the third one is only available after 2:00 p.m., leaving me with a two-hour gap. Here's the question: is it reasonable to charge something for the two hours of downtime? I've already cut them a break on the tuning price, since there are six pianos involved (I tuned three today, and am going back next week to do the other three). Thanks, Paul Mulik, Joplin MO _______________________________________________ Dave Stahl Dave Stahl Piano Service 650-224-3560 _http://dstahlpiano.net/_ (http://www.dstahlpiano.net/) ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
